We are a 14 doctor practice that treats mainly cats and dogs, but sees a small number of small mammals including rabbits and rodents. We are a busy, established clinic that has served the same neighborhood for 50 years in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Students will shadow a different doctor each day and spend at least one day each week assisting in surgery. Students will gain experience taking histories, performing physical exams, and discussing cases with the doctors.
As part of the professional veterinary curriculum, colleges encourage off-campus educational experiences in practices outside of the teaching hospital. Practical experience in a well-run and contemporary practice can be a valuable component of your veterinary education, preparing you to deliver better care after graduation. Our program is dedicated to contributing to your practice-readiness and to help you hit the ground running after graduation.
Our externship rotations are designed to allow students, under veterinary supervision, to practice the problem-solving, technical and communication skills that they have acquired during their clinical preparation. Externs are given the opportunity to work alongside our veterinary team and are encouraged to participate in all aspects of patient care

The Emory University Division of Animal Resources (DAR) Veterinary Externship Program is designed to provide interested third and fourth year veterinary medical students the opportunity to experience the field of Laboratory Animal Medicine. Laboratory Animal Medicine is an AVMA-recognize specialty that combines clinical medicine, preventive medicine, pathology, recognition/development of animal models, regulatory oversight, and collaborative/independent biomedical research. The Emory University DAR oversees all aspects of laboratory animal care on campus. Species typically maintained include mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, spiny mice, ferrets, rabbits, amphibians, fish, finches, and pigs. Students will observe and participate in the many of the daily responsibilities of a laboratory animal veterinarian primarily by shadowing the current residents and through interactions with the faculty veterinarians. The student will gain knowledge in the following areas:
- Proper handling, restraint, and associated techniques used in working with laboratory animal species
- Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in laboratory animals
- Anesthetic management and perioperative care of laboratory animals
- The basic tenets of regulatory oversight
- Typical laboratory animal species and their anatomy, physiology
- Animal models of human disease
- IACUC function
